TIE RUTLANDS DEFEATED.
THEY DROP A HOT GAME TO THE
QUEEN CITY NINE.
The Tenth Inning Necessary to Decide the
Contest-The score O to st. Adams
Defeats Montpelier to G. The
National League Games.

The game of base ball Saturday after
noon between the home team and the
Rutlands was one of the best and most
exciting contests ever played in the State,
and the very best this season at Athletic
Park. 1t was principally battle between
the pitchers and right well did Roach
twirl the bail for Burlington, winning the
game TO I +; but it took 10 innings to do it,
Sprague, who came to Vermont II
few weeks since, pitched a good
game but it was of no use.
Burlington got 10 hits from him
and punched we'll together at the most
critical time in the game. The home team
played somewhat loosely III the first =
innings, the visitors scoring 2 runs in each
inning, but they made up for all errors
by their superb work for the rest of the
game, giving them binders, an expert
ence new to Rutland's sluggers. The en-
thusiasm of the crowd was great AS
even the visitors had to admit they
were fairly beaten, the umpire's decisions
being questioned IN one instance and that
on matter of rule. which was finally de
cided in their favor. There was no special
feature of the game outside of the battery
work. The boys all played ball to win as
the summary will show.

Wolves Near Rome.

1t is a long time since the reward for
killing n wolf in the plain has been
claimed at the capitol in Rome, but the
custom of b~estowing such reward is, it
appears, in full force when it can be
legitimately claimed. A shepherd i'll the
neighborhood of the Ire Fontane, the
well known Trappist monastery, a very
short distance from Rome, saw several
wolves the other day prowling near his
flock, having been driven down, I'M
doubtedly, by the immense quantities of
snow that have fallen on the hills sur
rounding the Campagna. Although
alone, he bravely gave chase to the
animals, and succeeded in killing one,
which he afterward brought in to the
capital, where the usual reward of 100f.
was at once paid him. Had it been a
female he would have received 1907.
1t is many years since such an incident
has taken place.-Rome Cor. London

AS a rule, there is as little zest i'll the
perusal in printed ermon as there is in
the mere recollection of last summers
peaches. Their luscious flavor may not
be canned. 1t takes the momentous &C.
%casion, the sympathetic audience, the
reused attention, the pealing, pulsating
voice, the animated form, the fire and
soulpower of the speaker-all to make
the powerfully impressive discourse, and
often to print a sermon, no matter how
popular it may have been upon delivery,
is but to give it a black coffin, in which
it will be hurried, with all other dead
things, to dust and ashes. 1t is a curious
fact that, in all time, hardly a dozen pull
pit orators nave succeeded in producing
sermons which any considerable number
of people would read. No wonder, for,
indeed, they are generally rather dry
dishes; strong meat, may be, but juiceless
and without any gravy.-Globe-D Demo-

A Now cereal discovered.

According to a supplementary bulletin
of information from the Royal gardens.
Kew. that establishment has just my
ported a new cereal for study and exam
nation. The new cereal is Abyssinian
tetf, the grain from which, in its several
varieties, the Abyssinians make their
bread. 1t may be spelt s'tthef, " but this
is a needless addition to the pain of liv-
ing. One of its advantages is that it
may be cultivated with ease at a height
of G,000 or 1000 feet above the sea level
where corn and maize can hardly thrive.
This would make it well suited for our
hill stations in India, and for parts of our
colonial empire similarly situated as to
altitude. 1t comes TO maturity in four
months, yields forty times its volume of
seed, and, in the best variety, makes n
white, delicious bread. The coarser kinds
grow more quickly, but are much less
agreeable to the palate. Bruce mentions
teff with approval, and there is some ac-
count of it in other books.
Yet till the other day Kew, and APP
parently Europe, was without a grain of
it. Great efforts were made to supply
this deficiency. The Royal gardens wrote
to the foreign office, the foreign Office
wrote to Cairo, the Italian consul general
there wrote to the officer commanding
the Italian troops at Massowah, and finally
two sacks of teff, red and white, found
their way to Kew from Africa. The o n
signment was accompanied by an invalu-
able note on the cultivation from NJ.
Coulbeaux, ''missionaire apostolique EN-
Abyssinie." So now nothing stands be-
tween Kew and n teff tea AXE but the
few months required for the cultivation.
There is a certain air of incongruity in
the prodigiousness of the official corre-
spondence. Twice as much letter writ
ing about a new explosive would have
seemed the most natural thing in the
world.-London News.

AT the present time it is no longer pos
sible to doubt that monkeys hold verita-
bic and numerously attended festivals
that resemble those that the negroes of
Africa, the H%ottentots and the Papuas of
New Guinea celebrate to the sound of the
tom-tom on moonlight nights, most fire.
quently, however, at the time II new
moon makes its appearance. The mon
keys (cebicus) n South America assemble
in the same when, having ex-
hausted the resources Of one place, they
get ready to emigrate to another. They
jump, gambol and shout Rith all their
might, the males running on the trees
and the mothers carrying their children
on their backs or in their arms.
Duvancel witnessed near Desbund, in
India, "A grand reunion of sacred monkeys
(semnopithecus enteuus), which is re-
peated regularly, the inhabitants say,
after a certain number of years. There
were several thousand of them, which
had come in large bands from different
directions. Each marched with IA stick
in its hand; but when they arrived at the
place of the festival they threw all the
sticks on the same spot, and made of
them an immense heap.
The festive gatherings OF the black
~chimpanzees of Africa are still more
closely related to those of the negroes.
Sometimes fifty or SO of them come to-
gether, and jump, yell, and using dry
chunks of wood as tom-toms, beat on
them with drum sticks, which they hold
in their hands and feet.
This orchestra of quadrumanes is the
first attempt at music, and what is re-
markable, the music is of the rudiment-
airy form of the drum, which everywhere
among the most savage and inferior races
of the human family, is the first musical
instrument also, and the only one that
many of them possess. Henry Howard

Notwithstanding what few to the con-
trary there would be on such a subject,
there is no entertainment which can COM
pare to that of an army post. No hop
room can be so fascinating as n draped
in the long, heavy flags which always
form the chief decoration. There is no
music as delightful as that of a trained
military band, and no citizens dress suit
ever made could hold its own against the
blue uniform and white stripes of the
officers full dress. No woman in the
army is ever a wall flower. No matter
how old she is, whether married or sin
gle, she always has the best dancers in
the room ask her for one dance at least,
and if she is pretty and attractive she is
as much of a belle as in the palmiest days
of her girlhood. That is said to be one
of the compensations of army life, and a
delightful one it is to be sure. One hears
a great deal about the drawbacks and
privations of army life, but | fail to
sympathize with the croakers. l looked
around the pretty parlor OF one OF the
most charming women l have ever met,
the wife of tho adjutant, at her card
party last week, and l wondered how a

in civil life. To be sure, taste goes a
long way, and all may not have it in
such a degree, but her dainty little cabi-
nets, her rugs, her pictures and books,
her guitar, her exquisite vases and bric-a-
brac, made that room a most attractive
background for the gay, homelike COM
pany assembled there, with herself for a
fascinating centerpiece.-El Paso Cor.

BARRELS FROM PAPER PULP.
The Inventors Say That Marsh Grass Can
be Used to Manufacture Them.

The Inventors Say That Marsh Grass Can
be Used to Manufacture Them.
The growing scarcity of the timber sup
ply has given rise to the serious question
of how to produce packages for oil,
liquors and similar substances which will
meet the demands of the market. This
question has at different times during the
last twenty years led to various attempts
to produce a paper barrel which would
ancwer all the purposes. for which the
wooden barrel is used. These attempts,
however. have been attended with no
practical success until recently, when a
barrel was produced from paper pulp
which seems destined to supersede the
wooden article. Its general appearance
is that of the common wooden barrel
thickly vanished, while only five pieces
are used in making it. 1t is bound with
ordinary wooden hoops and the head is
of n piece, 30 constructed that it fits
into the barrel air tight and is held firmly
in place by a hoop without the use Of
nails. The body is seamless and the in
terror and exterior are glazed with a sub
stance which renders the barrel imper-
vious to moisture 50 that liquids of all
kinds al be transported in it without
loss. 1t is also very strong and stiff, not
easily broken and as the nature of the
compressed paper is such that neither dry
nor damp weather affects it the contents
retain all their aromatic qualities. There
are numerous other excellent qualities
claimed for this barrel.
Not long ago the chief flour inspector
of the New York Produce Exchange GER
titled that he had inspected $50 barrels Of
flour which had been shipped from a dis
lance in these paper barrels and had found
them to be all sound. 1t generally hap
pens when flour is shipped in wooden bar
rels that a quantity Of it sits through the
cracks where the staves join and is lost.
1t was found by weighing the flour ship
ped in paper barrels that none of it had
been lost in this name
The pulp used in the production Of these
barrels is obtainable from any fibrous
substance, and as there is hardly u local
ity where some such substance does not
grow the barrels can be manufactured al
most anywhere. The bulk of the wood
used for the manufacture of barrels, how
ever, is now brought from western Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin and, as
the supply is constantly decreasing there
h difficulty and expense of obtaining the
timber is increasing. The inventors Of
this process for making these barrels say
that the weeds and rank grasses which
grow on the meadows lying between
Jersey City and Newark will produce an
excellent pulp for this purpose and that
thus practically waste lands may be made
productive and profitable. The cost of
manufacturing the paper barrels is no
greater than that of making the wooden
article and, with the patented machine,
it is said that two men a produce 600
barrels in n day.-New York Tribune.

The monotony of life on the Afghan
frontier was the other day pleasantly in
terrupted by the arrival OF two strangers
at the camp of the frontier commission.
One of them was a native horseman, be-
side whom, in somewhat shabby European
apparel, walked a stalwart pedestrian. A
few questions brought out the story OF the
latter, which deserves to be preserved as
an example of the endeavors of one of the
great unemployed to find some work to
do. The man, q German by birth, had
walked from central Germany through
Russia and Bokhara, heading straight for
India, where he hoped to find permanent
employment. Without money, without
a passport, without speaking but his own
tongue, he arrived at the Afghan frontier,
having been compelled to abandon his
straight line of march by the deep snow
on the Hindoo Koosh. The commission
ers, after providing the man with food
and clothes. sent him on his way rejoicing,
confident that, after going round Afghan
istan, which is a closed door to travellers,
he will reach his Observation-Disclosures

THE Latter Day Saints says the

Lake City, ''can afford to smile at the
puny pugnacity of their sectarian oppon-
ents, and the threatening and formidable
hostility of their national and official enc
mics" 1t is certainly advisable hat the
Mormons shall do all the smiling they can
while the sun shines, for they know they
will not smile much when the national gov
ernment proceeds to the execution Of the
